It wasn’t your fault,
Everything’s so messed up now,
Everything is blurry now

It wasn’t our fault,
Bryden,
Why couldn’t you understand,
In everything god has a hand
How could you feel,
So bad you had to kill,
Yourself,
God help me, this is so unreal…

So now I write this song to help myself say goodbye,
Tears on this page, cause I can’t stop crying,
Tears on my soul my friends are all dying,

I had to face your mother bryden,
Her face diseased with pain,
Tears pouring down her face like
Lost droplets of rain,
I’m going to help her get through this,
In her awful time of need,
But I ask myself a question
Who will help me?

So now I write this song to help myself say goodbye,
Tears on this page, cause I can’t stop crying,
Tears on my soul my friends are all dying,

I’m not gonna do what you did bryden,
And I always thought I was the weak one,
You and Robert never used to run,
Now you’re both gone please fly on to the sun,
Cause I’m staying here,
Living without fear,

So now I write this song to help myself say goodbye,
Tears on this page, cause I can’t stop crying,
Tears on my soul my friends are all dying,

Now you’re gone little angel’s son
Everyone cried as soon as you were gone,
So here it is bryden, your last song,
Here it is bryden, your last goodbye

This can't be it
Nothing bad I've ever done could ever warrant this
I can't describe it but it hurts
I can't think of the right word
Now my whole world's falling apart

I can't picture me without you
There must be something to say
There must be something I can do
There must be something to say but I can't
For the life of me reach down inside of me
and find out what it is

Why can't they stay the same
The way they were yesterday

This can't be happening
I keep thinking only if I could do last night again
I'd act so differently but I guess
I'm gonna have to live with this

But the whole world might as well die
Cause I can't do a thing without you
I couldn't be more sorry
I couldn't feel more regret
I couldn't be more sorry
And I wish that I could take it back but I
Can't so that is that
Is that
And I wish that it wasn't so bad

I can't picture me without you
And I can't do a thing without you
So I'll spend my whole life waiting for you
Maybe someday you'll see that
Maybe someday you'll change your mind
Maybe someday you'll see that
I would like to be with you and you to be with me too

Why can't they stay the same
The way they were yesterday
The way they were yesterday

If I can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.

It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.

Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.

In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.

I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.

Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?

I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.
Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
'Cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.

I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel.

Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
And all the time you know she bears another man's name

But you just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin
You just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin
But all the time you know she belongs to your very best friend

Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Something deep inside of you won't let you wreck your best friend's home
